The reported stars of I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here! 2020 were seen arriving one by one at a west London studio over the weekend.

Photos show several of the famous faces said to be heading to Wales for this year's adapted series turning up in face masks, heading into the building.

It's thought they were having their promo shots taken, before the two-week isolation period they will have to go through to take part in the COVID-safe version of the reality show at Gwyrch Castle.

The likes of Vernon Kay, Beverley Callard and Victoria Derbyshire were spotted arriving, being taken inside for the shoot. 

In the snaps all of the celebs were seen getting out of blacked-out vehicles while donning face masks which partially obscured their identities.

The stars kept things casual for the apparent photoshoot, where they reportedly tried on their camp uniforms, and arrived in comfortable clothing such as jumpers and hoodies. 

Tenor Russell Watson, 53, who is best known for singing at football and rugby games in the late 90s, and Paralympian Hollie Arnold, 26, were also seen pulling up to the venue in taxis. 

MailOnline has contacted ITV as well as representatives for Russell Watson, Hollie Arnold and Victoria Derbyshire for a comment.

BBC journalist Victoria 52, is said to be 'really looking forward' to be joining the line-up, which will allegedly also include stars such as former Strictly star AJ Pritchard and EastEnders actress Jessica Plummer, 28.

A source speaking to The Sun claimed: 'Victoria is always game for a challenge so when she was approached for I'm A Celebrity she jumped at the chance.

'It's always something she's wanted to do but because of her family she's never wanted to fly to Australia and be away from them for so long. 

'When the show moved to Wales and the opportunity came up, she didn't want to look a gift horse in the mouth so said yes straight away.'

According to reports, screen star Ruthie Henshall, 53, who has starred in West End shows such as Miss Saigon and Chicago and dated Prince Edward in the 1990s, will also join the line-up.

On her reported stint, an TV insider said: 'Ruthie is a particularly exciting signing for I'm A Celebrity as viewers will want to see if she divulges any gossip on her relationship with Prince Edward. They'll be hoping she lets slip some juicy information on her posh ex during cosy, intimate chats round the campfire.'  

She has spoken openly about their relationship in the past, telling Desert Island Discs in 2008 that she 'fell in love with the royal' but nothing was 'more important than the stage'.

Ruthie added during the interview: 'It always made me laugh, I’d sort of say ‘I’m going to my boyfriend’s tonight’. Nobody knew who he was.'
